Hope it helps
Method One: Machining the inside of the caliper bracket, where it mounts to the hub itself. I repeat...MACHINE. DO NOT FOLLOW THE H-T METHOD OF GRINDING. Many just use a dremel, and grind away. The purpose of the material removal is simple, the rotor will rub on the inside of the caliper bracket IF no changes are made to the bracket. By removing material from the inside of the bracket where it mounts to the hub, you bring the bracket inward, and the rotor no longer rubs the bracket. In the end, this is the method I chose...but beware, this requires precision machining. If it's NOT done right between the bolt holes, the caliper will be NOT even over the rotor. This will lead to terrible brake vibration and uneven pad wear. You need to remove 3 mm...removing another .5 mm will center it better, but this might compromise the strength of the caliper bracket itself. Without proper measurement, I’d venture to say to make it perfectly centered, you’d need to remove 4.75-5 mm. However, this would definitely compromise the bracket’s integrity.
